Re: ~TTGP Grad Check In~
Allison is 6w! I'm taking her on an airplane alone next week to Chicago and am totally anxious about how that will go, lol.
She loves to smile, enjoys tummy time, had her first nocrying bath, and is wearing 3m sleepers for length. She's getting so big so fast! We have an ultrasound tomorrow to check her hips for dysplasia since she was breech. Hoping that comes back negative, and I have my 6w post partum follow up as well where I'll get cleared for sex again. FINALLY.
Stupid amounts of love to the TTGPers, always hanging out here to check up on everyone :]
Good morning TTGP! I am already up and at work due to lovely pregnancy insomnia. Figured I may as well get an early start if all I am going to do is toss and turn. So here I am at 38w4d. Yikes!
I did really well up until about 37 weeks with weight gain. I gained 5 lbs between 37w and 38w appointments. You can definitely tell that my face is quite puffy. James is still a mover and a shaker - he loves Baby Einstein music, bluegrass, and Mumford and Sons. I play to him every night. We're really ready for him to arrive (in 10 days give or take!!!!!), but he just can't come tomorrow because it is going to snow.

Good morning!!
Here I am at 28 weeks, I'm amazed at how fast time is flying. I passed my 1 hour glucose test, I was really happy to hear that. Madison has been kicking and rolling all over the place, she loves to kick my husband all the time. She loves music and hearing us talk. And last but not least I'm finally in my third and final trimester (:
She is precious!!
I agree. She is adorable!

10 weeks today. 1/4 way through!
Still dealing with all day nausea most of the time, and food aversions. I lost a little weight in the last week, because I'm not eating very much.
I had a break from cramping, but it's come back the last few days.
I'm so ready to be done with progesterone. The drunk side effects are getting to me. I felt drunk at my 3 year old nephews birthday party and my sister's baby shower over the weekend. My Ob didn't give me a stop date, but I have my 12 week appointment in 2 weeks so I will take it until then, and then see what they say. I'm nervous to stop it, but I know at that point it isn't really necessary.

7 w 6 days today...8 weeks tomorrow.
Same old...food aversions, queasiness (diclectin is helping take away the actual nausea, but it still hits at weird times when the diclectin is wearing off), constipated to hell, insomnia, nighttime peeing has struck, just general blah feeling is all it is. Blah is my best descriptor.
No more appointments now until I see my family doctor again March 25 (10 w 5 d) and sometime that week I am supposed to have my first ultrasound. I am trying to hold off from telling anybody until that time. I'll be 11 weeks when we tell anybody, including parents. To be honest, it still doesn't feel real so in my mind I think if I see it on a monitor I'll believe I am actually pregnant.
But on a brighter note, I love the fruit and veggie tickers, get our raspberry tomorrow!

22 weeks today--maybe one week I'll post a picture.
Nursery is painted, furniture is in boxes, and we have a general idea of what fabrics we want.
Baby Avocado is really start to kick, so MH is loving that. My next appt is in 2 weeks and we'll tour the hospital then too.
I agree, this is my favorite thread! A lot of the women that got their BFPs right when I joined are posting updates so I feel a little bit like I'm creepy stalking them.

So far, things are good with me. I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow. Had my first prenatal visit, where we just went over all the do's and don't's and my concerns. So far, "knock on wood", no morning sickness, just super heartburn, very tired, and sore boobs, and slight cramping off and on. I have my ultrasound 2 weeks from tomorrow when I will be 8 weeks, can't wait for it to get here, so I know all is ok in there.
Love seeing all the updates from everyone, and I keep lurking here for more BFP's!
Morning ladies! Things are going well for me , I am 12 weeks 4 days. I had my NT scan yesterday and baby looked great! Baby is measuring 3-4 days ahead still and looked to be 13 weeks in the scan, I'll take a couple days if I can get it ! They made a gender guess yesterday of BOY! Although I know it is still early , the "dangle" was swaying as baby moved so im thinking I have another little boy on the way..I am starting to get a bit of a bump, maybe next week I will post once I am confident it is bump and not bloat! Here is a pic from yesterdays u/s!
Yeah! Show off that bump lady

I'm nervous as balls, but excited.
Not much to report here - chugging along and just waiting for my next appt in 3 weeks where we'll do the blood draw to test for neural tube defects. DS shared his cold with me so I am working from home and being miserable since I can't take any good cold meds. I've started making a list of names, but something tells me that even though we have 8 extra weeks to name this one it'll still be a game time decision.
I still lurk here occasionally and am rooting for all the TTGP ladies!
Des is 12 weeks today and so cuddly. He coos and laughs out loud a lot, especially during diaper changes (a big change from even a few weeks ago). As of last week he weighed almost 13 lbs and is 24 inches long.
Rooting for TTGP and excited to come back later and see all the updates. Happy Tuesday!!
Awe, These kids are just so cute (looking at yours Shay!!!!)
Love the bellies (kelly,Crams)

Shay- she is beautiful! GL on your trip!
kellym- you look great! FX James comes after the snow melts!
cgiles- love that bump and the bright pink shirt! Gives such a happy and spring time vibe! Congratulations on passing your GD test!
kelle- hope the nausea lets up soon!
kdg- you're so on top of things! We haven't even emptied out the room we're using for the nursery yet.
cram- you look fantastic! Love the photos! I'm so glad that you had a good time at your shower. I hope the modified bedrest continues to go well. I'd love to work from home, but with my line of work, it just won't happen.
shellb- glad to hear that things are going well!
sugar- love the u/s pic! FX that the guess was accurate!
grace- no news is good news, right? Glad that things are still going well for you.
kicius- Yay for your sweet little pea! Hope that you get some good rest in. GL with the transition for your DS.
lamo- congratulations!
keystock- I hope you feel better soon! Pregnancy and colds don't mesh well.
GOP- Seriously, cute little boy! I love his bib!
AFM:
DH and I *think* we have names picked out (one boy and one girl). Surprisingly, the process has been pretty easy for us. We just need to figure out a girl middle name to be set.
DH says he's sure that LO is a girl, has called "her" by the first name we like. I'm still not sold either way, but I've had at least 2 dreams of calling LO by the boy name.
Other than that, not much new is going on- Oh, we are meeting/interviewing a pediatrician tomorrow, so that's pretty exciting!
Here's my belly pic for today: 29 weeks 6 days!
GL TTGP! I love lurking and seeing all the BFPs!
Check out my Team Green baby names! P.S. I'm not serious with any of the names

BFP 9/7/12, EDD 5/15/13
MW interview said 5/17/13 and changed back to 5/15/13 after first visit
I'm early today! Things are moving along swimmingly. I'm 15w1d, and I'm starting to get a teeny little belly - it's super noticeable in my maternity pants. We have started seriously looking into baby gear, which is a bit overwhelming, but it is all very exciting. Other than that, I've started interviewing doulas and will probably pick one in the next week or so. Then, I have to get to changing my doctor - the one I currently have isn't very unmedicated birth friendly. I'm starting to get my energy back, which is really awesome.
I'm loving all the beautiful bumps and babies!
I reached 20 weeks on Sunday and I can't believe I only have 20 weeks left! We found out we are team blue and can't wait for Cameron Nathan to get here! I feel little kicks here and there and can't wait to feel them on the outside!
Cameron's nursery is coming along and hopefully I can post some pictures in the coming weeks!
Can't wait to see all the bumps and babies!
Shay- She is gorgeous.
Cram- You look beautiful and I love the cake!
Kelly- You are so close and you look great.

Here I am at 29 weeks, wearing a very flattering j.crew tank top and H's sweatpants. I am starting to get quite uncomfortable in my hips and back and crotch, although I feel like it is way too early for this amount of soreness. Also, I just switched to midwives and had my first appointment with them today, and it was so nice...I think I'm in love! Other than that, just so ready to hit the 30 week milestone!
No bump pic this week, although it's starting to be a legit bump. Hopefully next week. It's been a few weeks since I checked in, time is flying! I can't believe I'm 21 weeks. Little man is moving like crazy in there, but nothing we can feel from the outside yet.
DH has been seriously nesting. The crib and changing table are put together, the nursery is painted (as of Sunday) and the dresser is in the nursery. We also went on a shopping spree at Macy's with a gift card. We were told by grandparents we need to stop so there are things for them to buy.
Symptom-wise, I'm still getting sick most mornings (and afternoon yesterday!) Luckily it's fairly limited to about an hour after I get up. On a brighter note, a friend solidified her offer to throw me a baby shower yesterday! She had mentioned it earlier on, but hadn't since. Turns out she didn't want to be pushy about it in case my mom wanted to do it, and I didn't want to be rude and bring it up again. So I'm glad we got that all figured out
.
Shay: Allison is gorgeous!! Good luck with your travels! I took Molly to California by myself when she was 8 weeks old. It's a little scary, but you'll do great!
Cram: Your shower looks so cute! And I LOVE that dress!
Kdg: I can't believe how far along you are! And that's awesome that baby is moving everywhere!
SugarEllie: Congrats on the good NT. I know it's early to guess, but it's fun!
Kestock: Sorry about the cold!
Good luck with names, it's going to be a battle for us, too!
Gr8dane: Bennett is adorable!
SweetC80: Congrats! Hearing the heartbeat is the best!
Morning TTGP and Grads!! My little lovebug is 3 weeks old today and here she is in her lovebug outfit!! She wasn't too cooperative but we got some cute ones anyways. I caught a horrible virus last week and had to cancel her 2 week appt so we are taking her in today. She eats like crazy and is already becoming a chunker so I have no worries but am excited to see what she weighs now! She was 8lb11oz at 1 week so I'm sure she's over 9lbs now! GL to everyone and I'm off to read the rest of the updates - can't believe we'll have March babies soon Jessuh and Kelly!!
AFM: I'm 12 weeks, 1 day today. Moved my EDD to line up with what the OB has. We had our quad screen scan yesterday and all looked good. I have an anterior placenta, so we didn't get many good pics. This 3D was really the best one. I know it's early for guessing, but they got a look between the legs and it looked EXACTLY like Molly's sex determination u/s last time, so I'm leaning towards another girl. Guess we'll see in a month or 2. Molly and I took a picture to announce the new baby.

Announcement:
Good luck TTGP! Always rooting for more BFPs!
YAY!! Love your updates
Good Morning, Starshines! Lucy says, "hello!"
She will be 5 months old on Saturday. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? I sure as sh!t can't. I love her to bits and pieces. She is the greatest thing since Wonder Bread! Not much new. Just a whole lotta cute:

Holes chicas!
i am officially home on bedrest. I was released from the hospital last night after a 6day stay. I have placenta previa and it can cause bleeding and preterm labor. Both of which I had last week. So now the plan is to stay home on strict bedrest until 36 weeks.
At 36 weeks they want to do an amino and a csection the next day. Scary to think in 5 weeks I will be meeting my LO. we haven't started the nursery and were planning to tackle it after my shower on the 23rd. Now we have to rethink because I cannot lift a finger per doctors orders.
LO is measuring 4lb2oz. My doc said he was fat. My DH took offense. I laugh because we truly won't know how big he is until he gets here. But during the past week he has been great. So now we wait!
